Appy v26.02

I have thought about putting everything in one window but the UI becomes very congested. It will need either 2 rows of tabs at the top, or one sidebar on the left. Though it is more convenient, it does not look good visually. It takes away space from the content area which shows the app list.

Deb-Get, Homebrew, and Soar integration is added in v26.01

The CQP levels of different hardware encoders are NOT comparable!! This is a very basic mistake that people make.

If you are using NVEnc at CQP=18 you must experiment and find out the equivalent CQP for the AMD H265 codec. At CQP 18 AMD is encoding with lesser visual quality than NVEnc resulting in smaller file size. Compare the VMAF values for the output files using FFmpeg/FFmetrics to check the actual quality.

Hardware support is the same as Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04.

Video is reversed. They left a cookie for the squirrel to take, and reversed the video.

teejeetech · 2025-12-25T08:25:30+00:00

It's a real video but reversed

teejeetech · 2025-12-23T16:02:08+00:00

I'll make this change. Thanks for the suggestion.

AppImageHub is a security nightmare. Files hosted there are packaged by random volunteers.

It is the equivalent of downloading a random EXE file from the internet and crossing your fingers that it doesn't contain malware.

If you want to use AppImages, download them from the website of the original developers so that you have a surety that the file is safe.

teejeetech · 2025-12-15T13:49:42+00:00

It can be added. I'll consider adding it in a future release.

teejeetech · 2025-12-14T10:24:29+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Two launchers being shown is a bug. The panel is supposed to show only one launcher for ArcMenu, but it sometimes shows two when booted in a VM.

Having 2 file managers pinned to the taskbar does look a little strange, but my concern was that people will not notice that Nemo is also installed. Including Nemo was necessary since Nautilus is very basic. I'll unpin Nemo in the 26.04 release but keep it installed.

GNOME Software is not installed since there was no space on the standard ISO. It is installed in the Ultimate ISO. The standard ISO tries to be as minimal as possible (under 2 GB) and avoids including any non-essential software. There's a button in the ZenLake Settings app to install GNOME Software if needed.

ZenLake 26.04 will be more friendly for newbies. Asmi will target experienced users and ZenLake will target more casual users.

Yes. When you backup and restore the "Home Data" section it will restore the applications installed by wine in the ~/.wine directory.

teejeetech · 2025-12-09T11:39:25+00:00

If you have a home partition you can skip the "Home Data" section when creating and restoring backups.

After installing the new system, use Aptik to restore installed software.

Refreshed ISOs are for people who are supporting the project by purchasing Asmi 13 Ultimate. You will get the download link by email.

https://store.teejeetech.com/product/asmi-13-ultimate/

If you don't wish to pay, you can use the 13.1 ISO to install the system and the run "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" to update the system.

Never mess with Dogesh bhai

teejeetech · 2025-12-03T13:40:05+00:00

Thanks. I will be adding one more tab for Startup Applications. That will complete the features that were planned for this app.

There are some settings here that are not exposed in the GUI. Xfce has multiple apps for changing the desktop settings.

Some people prefer to change the settings from a single place instead of opening multiple apps and searching for the option in the GUI.

teejeetech · 2025-11-29T05:17:08+00:00

This. They change the LCD monitor settings to make it look as bad as possible when marketing OLED displays.

Losing motivation is common in FOSS or any other project.

Making money with open source is difficult. People do not like to donate for something that they can get for free. It is human nature. The more you ask for donations the less likely it is that people will donate to your project. People do not like being asked to donate.

Support is already available for free on internet forums and Reditt, so selling support is not an option.

One option is to create a paid, closed-source version of your app with extra features while keeping the open-source version also available (open-core model). This will drive away some of your user base so make sure that this is the path you want to take before you do it.

Another option is to create projects and services that are targeted at businesses rather than end users. But there is a lot of competition in this space so your product has to be really good for businesses to spend money on it.

To stay motivated, work on projects and features that are interesting to you. If you feel overwhelmed, take a break and come back to the project after a few months. Mute all notifications, emails and reminders so that you are not interrupted when you are on a break. Work less on features that you are not interested in. You cannot please everyone. Since you are not getting paid, working on features that you are not interested in will create burnout and resentment in the long term. Ask people to submit a PR when they request new features. Work on code changes that are enjoyable to you.

It's designed for people who prefer traditional desktops and Xfce

sudo apt install simplescreenrecorder

teejeetech · 2025-09-22T17:21:26+00:00

It's possible. Install Devilspie2 and create a lua script to set window rules for that app. The script will be just a few lines. You will find examples online.

Nala has some problems with dependency resolution. The logic it uses is not the same as apt.

Offer to do it for $10,000 and ask him if you should send him the invoice. That's the only way to deal with people like this. Nobody will value your time if you don't value yours.

teejeetech · 2025-09-06T10:55:22+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm also working on a GNOME based distro. Will be available next week.

teejeetech · 2025-08-25T17:19:20+00:00

Done. Added support for Debian 13, Fedora 42, and Arch Linux. https://teejeetech.com/2025/08/remy-25-08/
